1974 Datsun 260 Z "Blank Canvas" I have been working on this car for over a year now. The car is KS titled as an Antique, runs and drives. The car was from Arizona so it had minimal body pan rust that the previous owner cut out and replaced. Not a great job but decent. The motor runs well with good oil pressure and has Factory A/C. I have replaced both the electric and mechanical fuel pumps. The tank was drained and flushed but I put some inexpensive visible filters in line to check for additional dirt. What the car really needs is a few tanks of gas run through it. The clutch master and master cylinder are new. I went through the brakes replacing and upgrading pads, rotors, brake hardware kit and wheel cylinder rebuilds. It has stainless steel lines as well. I replaced all the bushings with urethane and replaced all suspension parts as needed. ( If you have ever attempted this you know how hard the rear A-frames are to do!) I then installed a coil over kit to lower and stiffen the car. It has new KYB struts in back but I recommend replacing all four struts with Koni's or Bilsteins as this car rides hard and rebounds fast. ( With these coil overs this car would be a great candidate for a small block Chevy! they can easily take the extra weight) I replaced all six U joints and fluids in both the transmission and differential  and welded a muffler on as a temporary solution. I bought and installed a Stage 2 body kit. I also have a 280 Grill and lights that go with the car if you choose to go that way. The seats have been reupholstered and new rugs installed. the original interior color was brown but I used fabric paint on the parts that were not replaced in black ( Like the door panels) The dash has a cap. The roof has some hail damage and I am including a sunroof I purchased on line. Unlike most of these on the web this car " has not run in 10 years but ran when I put it away" or "has been in a barn just waiting to be restored" This car runs and drives although the tires should be replaced before driving anywhere. This car will drive into or onto any trailer you bring. That being said, I learned a valuable lesson about using a tow dolly The lowered front spoiler did not like that and got damaged as well as wrinkling both front fenders which I have replaced. I am not a body man and have come to the conclusion that winter is coming and I have 4 cars and a three car garage, Not going to work. That being said I have more that twice the reserve into this car but if it doesn't go I'll store it for the winter and start next year. If you buy this car you are going to save yourself hours of hard labor. The car is being sold locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early. If you have less than perfect feedback or under 50 Ebay transactions contact me before bidding or your bid will be rejected. I had my first 240 Z when I was 16. They are great cars but if you need your parents permission to buy please don't bid. Thanks for looking and good luck!
